Pride Island, NYC Pride’s flagship music experience, made its long-awaited return in 2022 with its first in-person celebration since the pandemic. Reimagined and expanded, the two-day festival known for bringing major artists to the Pride stage, relocated to Governors Island.
With headliners Lil’ Kim and Kim Petras, the weekend featured nonstop music across a packed DJ and performance lineup. The energy stretched from day to night as thousands danced, celebrated, and soaked in the open-air vibes, and skyline views of manhattan.
Guests arrived by ferry and stepped into a festival experience—complete with food trucks, open-air bars, and sponsor activations built to keep the crowd energized between sets. The experience was built for every kind of partygoer — from General Admission and VIP ticket holders to groups posted up in private Cabanas or Sky Suites, complete with prime stage views and included drinks.
